MAGIC results on galactic sources — •Emiliano Carmona — Max-Planck-Institut für Physik, München, Germany

MAGIC is a system of two telescopes located on the Canary island of La Palma. It is also the array of Imaging Cherenkov Telescopes with the lowest energy threshold, reaching 25 GeV for some dedicated observations. The scientific program of MAGIC includes several galactic objects like binary systems, pulsars, pulsar wind nebulae and supernova remnants. The latest results obtained for the most interesting of these sources like the Crab pulsar above 25 GeV or the latest results from the binary system LS I+61 303 will be presented. The impact of the stereo observations with the second telescope in future galactic observations will also be discussed.
